Few thoughts - one of the moderators will probably help you on a starting bid amount; you can check reported wins for Priceline on the search screen of the upper right hand corner of the home page (select Priceline Hotel Wins, Pennsylvania, then search Cranberry) - this will give you an idea of the hotels won and winning bid prices; the price you should start your bidding will also depend at the star level or star levels you would want to bid; there is a Hotwire listing for your date for a 3* at $73 with a 100% hotwire customer approval rating - you would not want to bid on Priceline above this amount; I would also ask yourself the question - how far below $ 73 would I want to bid rather than take this Hotwire listing that has a very good rating, other guaranteed amenities, and would also guarantee the bedding for the three people rather than risk a room from Priceline that may have bedding for three, but could only guarantees bedding for two.

...Cranberry Twp Friday June 15 till June 16 3 people...

Welcome to BetterBidding!

The first issue is that PRICELINE only guarantees double occupancy, after that it's at the discretion of the hotel, and you could receive a room with only one bed. While you can call the hotel you win and request a room with two beds, the hotel may not be able, or willing, to honor your request.

If this is not a risk you're willing to take HOTWIRE may still be an option as they allow you to search for up to quad occupancy and ensure sleeping accommodations for everyone you include in your search (although this usually means two beds, the second 'bed' could be a sofabed, rollaway, etc)

Based upon the above let us know your thoughts (or additional questions) and we'll take it from there.

Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.
